關(guān)于雅思考試:雅思考試Listening、Reading、Writing、Speaking四項里,對于大多數(shù)中國考生,后兩項的挑戰(zhàn)尤其巨大,今天小編給大家?guī)砹巳慰佳潘伎荚嚱?jīng)驗心得分享,希望可以幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧。

三次考雅思 考試經(jīng)驗心得分享

在報考雅思之前,大家心中一定要先定好一個目標(biāo)分?jǐn)?shù),它不僅要盡可能滿足你的預(yù)期,更重要的是符合所申請專業(yè)的要求。我將我的目標(biāo)分?jǐn)?shù)定為7+。第一次報名雅思是大三上學(xué)期9月底,那時的我還是一個雅思小白,雖說有一定的英語基礎(chǔ),但對雅思的認(rèn)識還僅僅停留在分?jǐn)?shù)上。自學(xué)準(zhǔn)備的第一次考試,我收獲了6.5(5.5)的成績,除了閱讀8分外,其他項表現(xiàn)平平。

實戰(zhàn)是最好的老師,此話不虛。有了第一次“滑鐵盧”的教訓(xùn),我在12月再一次報名了雅思,希望通過更加系統(tǒng)的準(zhǔn)備,趕在2017年的“尾巴”,一舉將其拿下。從10月中旬開始備戰(zhàn)雅思,到12月初共50余天的時間里,我集中訓(xùn)練了聽力與寫作。

對于聽力,是雅思考試?yán)锏摹疤岱猪棥保?0道題錯10道以內(nèi)便可以上7+。但對我而言,聽力一直是我的弱項,因此在準(zhǔn)備時下了更多功夫。在備考過程中,我先把劍4-10的聽力真題用鉛筆完整做了一遍,第一遍全程用1倍速,正常語速播放。做完之后對答案,將錯項標(biāo)出,重新播放出錯位置前后約30s的語料,捕捉錯項處的正確答案。訂正完成后,對part3以及part4的語料進(jìn)行聽寫,同樣按1倍速播放,用紅筆訂正,可以反復(fù)聽出錯的句子并反復(fù)修改直至與語料原文一致。

這兩步完成后,我又重新做了劍4-10的聽力真題,以1.25倍速播放,訂正答案并對錯誤處重聽。

在做聽力的時候,切勿做完一個part便急著對答案,甚至遇到不確定的一個小題,剛聽完便對答案,這都是聽力考試的大忌。要在平時練習(xí)的時候養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣,培養(yǎng)自己做題的節(jié)奏,連貫性很重要,堅持聽完40道題之后再對答案,一方面有利于你更好的積累做聽力的感覺,另一方面也是全真模擬考場的環(huán)境,畢竟上了考場,聽力內(nèi)容是不可能為你隨時停留的,完整聽完是重中之重。

對于寫作,我收獲的最重要的一點便是邏輯清晰。在第二次雅思考試中,我考出了歷次寫作的最高分,6.5分。比起一味的“炫技”,思路清晰要來的重要得多。寫作離不開句型、詞匯的支撐,但更重要的是,要做到“答題所問”。

一道雅思寫作的題目可能很簡單,短短幾十個詞,但是每一個詞都是關(guān)鍵詞,不可直接略過。以贊成/反對題型為例,在寫作的時候一定要覆蓋到兩方的觀點,但要分出主次,亮明你的觀點,不要模棱兩可。

無論選擇更加贊成還是反對,都要從至少兩個維度給出理由,并輔以一個具體事例作為支撐,使得論述飽滿具體。此外,注意單詞的拼寫以及句法盡量不要出現(xiàn)錯誤,做到在思路清晰、邏輯嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)幕A(chǔ)上組織行文。

第二次考試6.5(6),由于聽力發(fā)揮失常,最終聽說讀寫四項總分卡在了26.5,感到遺憾的同時第三次考試已經(jīng)在所難免。比起第一次的驚慌失措,至少在備考方向上已經(jīng)摸索出一點心得,第三次考試我下定決心一定要和雅思“分手”。

從寒假一直到5月份,期間因為準(zhǔn)備GMAT的緣故,雅思就擱置了下來。再次準(zhǔn)備雅思,已經(jīng)是7月份了。這一次我著重準(zhǔn)備了聽力以及口語。

在第三次備考聽力時,我調(diào)整了備考思路。有了之前備考聽力的經(jīng)驗,除了依然對劍4-10的part3以及part4語料聽寫外,在此基礎(chǔ)上我更換了練習(xí)題,加大了所做聽力練習(xí)題的難度以應(yīng)對難度不斷提升的雅思聽力考試。我試著直接以1.25倍速做題,發(fā)現(xiàn)效果不錯。

同時,我報名參加了雅思聽力課程,對我聽力水平的提升幫助很大,最終聽力漲到了8分。此外,我還報名了一對一口語對練,模擬全真的考試流程。與此同時,我著重準(zhǔn)備了口語part2的素材。對于經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的高頻話題,也進(jìn)行了針對性的準(zhǔn)備。

在準(zhǔn)備語料的過程中,我發(fā)現(xiàn)許多話題是可以合起來準(zhǔn)備的,比如“你最喜歡的季節(jié)”與“你理想中定居的城市”就有很多相通之處,“氣候”就成為了連結(jié)兩個話題的關(guān)鍵詞。

通過“各個擊破”“化零為整”,高頻話題的素材很快被整理出來,而最終口語考試收獲了6.5分。每年的1、5、9月份是口語的換題季,對自己口語不是很自信的童鞋可以考慮避開換題季,可以等題目出的差不多的時候,再選擇報考~

說來慚愧,一共用了近一年的時間才考出了語言成績。對于雅思考試的備考,我也是在不斷摸索、摸爬滾打中才漸漸摸出一點“套路”,最終上岸,“烤鴨”成功。不要放棄,堅信成功就在不遠(yuǎn)的地方等著你!

雅思閱讀素材:藥物研究失敗的原因

The Triumph of Unreason

A.

Neoclassical economics is built on the assumption that humans are rational beings who have a clear idea of their best interests and strive to extract maximum benefit (or “utility”, in economist-speak) from any situation. Neoclassical economics assumes that the process of decision-making is rational. But that contradicts growing evidence that decision-making draws on the emotions—even when reason is clearly involved.

B.

The role of emotions in decisions makes perfect sense. For situations met frequently in the past, such as obtaining food and mates, and confronting or fleeing from threats, the neural mechanisms required to weigh up the pros and cons will have been honed by evolution to produce an optimal outcome. Since emotion is the mechanism by which animals are prodded towards such outcomes, evolutionary and economic theory predict the same practical consequences for utility in these cases. But does this still apply when the ancestral machinery has to respond to the stimuli of urban modernity?

C.

One of the people who thinks that it does not is George Loewenstein, an economist at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh. In particular, he suspects that modern shopping has subverted the decision-making machinery in a way that encourages people to run up debt. To prove the point he has teamed up with two psychologists, Brian Knutson of Stanford University and Drazen Prelec of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to look at what happens in the brain when it is deciding what to buy.

D

In a study, the three researchers asked 26 volunteers to decide whether to buy a series of products such as a box of chocolates or a DVD of the television show that were flashed on a computer screen one after another. In each round of the task, the researchers first presented the product and then its price, with each step lasting four seconds. In the final stage, which also lasted four seconds, they asked the volunteers to make up their minds. While the volunteers were taking part in the experiment, the researchers scanned their brains using a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)。 This measures blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain, as an indication of its activity.

E.

The researchers found that different parts of the brain were involved at different stages of the test. The nucleus accumbens was the most active part when a product was being displayed. Moreover, the level of its activity correlated with the reported desirability of the product in question.

F.

When the price appeared, however, fMRI reported more activity in other parts of the brain. Excessively high prices increased activity in the insular cortex, a brain region linked to expectations of pain, monetary loss and the viewing of upsetting pictures. The researchers also found greater activity in this region of the brain when the subject decided not to purchase an item.

G.

Price information activated the medial prefrontal cortex, too. This part of the brain is involved in rational calculation. In the experiment its activity seemed to correlate with a volunteer's reaction to both product and price, rather than to price alone. Thus, the sense of a good bargain evoked higher activity levels in the medial prefrontal cortex, and this often preceded a decision to buy.

H.

People's shopping behaviour therefore seems to have piggy-backed on old neural circuits evolved for anticipation of reward and the avoidance of hazards. What Dr Loewenstein found interesting was the separation of the assessment of the product (which seems to be associated with the nucleus accumbens) from the assessment of its price (associated with the insular cortex), even though the two are then synthesised in the prefrontal cortex. His hypothesis is that rather than weighing the present good against future alternatives, as orthodox economics suggests happens, people actually balance the immediate pleasure of the prospective possession of a product with the immediate pain of paying for it.

I.

That makes perfect sense as an evolved mechanism for trading. If one useful object is being traded for another (hard cash in modern time), the future utility of what is being given up is embedded in the object being traded.

Emotion is as capable of assigning such a value as reason. Buying on credit, though, may be different. The abstract nature of credit cards, coupled with the deferment of payment that they promise, may modulate the “con” side of the calculation in favour of the “pro”。

J.

Whether it actually does so will be the subject of further experiments that the three researchers are now designing. These will test whether people with distinctly different spending behaviour, such as miserliness and extravagance, experience different amounts of pain in response to prices. They will also assess whether, in the same individuals, buying with credit cards eases the pain compared with paying by cash. If they find that it does, then credit cards may have to join the list of things such as fatty and sugary foods, and recreational drugs, that subvert human instincts in ways that seem pleasurable at the time but can have a long and malign aftertaste.

TRUE if the statement reflets the claims of the writer

雅思閱讀點撥:掌握英語同義詞是關(guān)鍵

一、英語詞庫,即你是否擁有英語對英語的同義詞詞庫,還是只知道中文的意思,要知道這是國際性的英語考試所以他絕對不會以你做中國試題的思維考測你,雅思閱讀就是全文的找答案,可是你所定位的詞很多時候不會老老實實地坐在原文里等著你,這就需要你具備英語同義詞的能力。

如有一道題目,是T/F/NG,題目是:The Medical reference books in Tang Dynasty range from both academical and

practicalcontents. 這句話的考點詞是非常明確的,醫(yī)療書是否既包括學(xué)術(shù),又包括實踐的內(nèi)容,如果只有其中一個,而不包括另一個,一定是NO。在原文中學(xué)生怎么也找不到答案,所以選了NG,你是絕對拿不到高分的,因為在原文中,academic變成了theoritical,然而practical卻變成了pragmatic,medial reference books轉(zhuǎn)為了medician texts,在學(xué)生應(yīng)用對應(yīng)法技巧時,如果沒有同義詞的積累,這題是做不出來的。

二、你的paraprase的能力,就是改句子的能力,但不是寫句子,是讓你改。高手都很擅長改句子,換了一句話或幾句話來說,但是表達(dá)一樣的意思。 這就是我說的in other words,這個能力在heading list題型里,淋漓盡致地體現(xiàn)了考官的此意圖,如題目:The companyemployers show less caring to their staffs. 老板對員工不像從前那樣關(guān)心了。

原文:The caring image of company has gone.公司關(guān)懷員工的形象一去不返了。多么的經(jīng)典了,所以考官是希望你具備這樣的識別能力,可是不做這方面的能力訓(xùn)練,如何能達(dá)到這樣的識別能力?

三、句子主干的分析,當(dāng)你通過同義詞或paraphrase的能力找到答案所在處時,你要大概的知道這句話的意思,或者你要使用對應(yīng)法的技巧??墒菍W(xué)生一看到許多單詞都不懂,都不知道怎么做了,所以要有分析主干的能力,知道什么是要看的,什么不用看,這里面名堂就多了,老師的經(jīng)驗就充分的體現(xiàn)在這里。

并不是教你看得懂整句話的老師就是很棒,而是教你在單詞都看不懂的情況下,仍然能看得懂,這才是最重要的。因為你到了國外念書,每日的閱讀量是幾百頁,而且許多單詞對你而言可能都很陌生,如果你把每個單詞慢慢的查,每個句式慢慢地分析,你死定了,一天就算你牛,也最多20頁左右,而且看完了,也不記得看了什么。這部分是典型的能力加技巧。

四、速度,要有“大義滅親”的精神,一道題目1分半做不出,一定要學(xué)會放棄,告訴自己,一道題目算什么,17道沒有了,我還能得6分呢。因為即使是最難的文章也會給學(xué)生送分的題目,所以千萬要學(xué)會放棄。

雅思閱讀五步走

1. 詞匯強(qiáng)記

掌握大量的雅思閱讀詞匯是大家正確而且快速的解答雅思閱讀題目的保證。詞匯量不夠,應(yīng)進(jìn)行詞匯突擊。雅思考試的詞匯量約為6000~8000詞。詞匯量小也是導(dǎo)致閱讀理解速度慢的重要因素。

2. 快速閱讀

雅思閱讀考試時間有限,題目量非常大,所以大家在備考雅思閱讀考試i的時候,一定要鍛煉自己快速閱讀的能力。

可選的閱讀材料有:TIME, NEWSWEEK, THE ECONOMIST, CHINADAILY, 21st CENTURY等。

因為雅思考試與時代緊密相連,具有一定的時效性,所以報刊文章為泛讀的首選。閱讀報刊文章應(yīng)選擇一般性的題材,如科普,社會問題,學(xué)術(shù)觀點性的文章,而政治,軍事,尖端科技的文章可以略過。采取的閱讀方式為快速閱讀。

3. 難句突破

雅思閱讀考試中,有很多文章中有一些句子句式比較復(fù)雜,影響大家的理解,所以在備考雅思閱讀考試的時候,突破雅思閱讀難句就成為了必要的步驟。

在精讀和做雅思試題時,將復(fù)雜的難句摘抄出來,然后分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),徹底消化難點。雖然雅思閱讀中不可能有原句重現(xiàn),但是難句的結(jié)構(gòu)是基本不變的。

4. 模擬練習(xí)

雅思閱讀考試和國內(nèi)的英語語言考試不同,所以大家接受雅思閱讀模擬練習(xí)可以幫助自己更快的熟悉雅思閱讀考試的模式,熟練掌握閱讀題型。

有兩點需要特別注意:首先,雅思閱讀的各種題型必須搞熟,尤其是主觀題如簡答. 填空. 概括等。其次,要看清題目,因為雅思閱讀的問法比較靈活,可以是對/錯/未給出答案,所以先看清楚要你做什么,再下手不遲,切忌做“無用功”。

5. 總結(jié)技巧

雅思閱讀考試考的是語言知識和閱讀技巧兩個方面的內(nèi)容,所以在備考雅思閱讀考試的時候,大家一定要注意分析閱讀理解的套路,總結(jié)解題技巧。如果個人復(fù)習(xí)情況不佳,可以根據(jù)自己的實際情況選擇合適的輔導(dǎo)班。
